Definitions

  • the present invention relates to accelerometers and particularly, but not exclusively, to dual channel accelerometers together with methods of manufacturing the same.
  • Accelerometers are used for measuring levels of vibration in many different types of machinery. In many applications, such as for example aircraft engines, there is a need for duplicate measurements of vibration level in order to provide a level of redundancy in case of sensor failure.
  • FIG. 1 One such arrangement 10 , shown in FIG. 1 , employs two single channel accelerometers 12 , 14 mounted side by side within a common housing 22 . This has the advantage of being simple and is therefore a low cost solution.
  • twisting or flexure of the baseplate 20 on which the two accelerometers 12 , 14 are mounted further exacerbates the difference in vibration input to each of the accelerometers 12 , 14 .
  • consistent channel-to-channel matching is difficult to achieve.
  • An alternative arrangement 30 shown in FIG. 2 , is to position the two single channel accelerometers 32 , 34 on top of each other. This arrangement has the advantage that both accelerometers 32 , 34 now experience the same vibration input. However, differences remain between the vibration inputs to each of the two accelerometers 32 , 34 .
  • a dual output accelerometer having first and second output channels, comprising:
  • a piezoelectric sensing element commonly comprises a plurality of discs of piezoelectric material that are stacked together, usually with a common centre peg co-locating the discs together.
  • the individual discs of piezoelectric material making up two sensing elements are separated and then interleaved with one another and co-located with a single seismic mass.
  • any variation in vibration input resulting from the bending of the stack of piezoelectric elements will be distributed over the first and second piezoelectric elements. This will improve the channel-to-channel matching of the first and second transducers over a dual channel accelerometer of the prior art.
  • the first output channel is connected to the plurality of inter-connected first piezoelectric elements
  • the second output channel is connected to the plurality of inter-connected second piezoelectric elements.
  • Each of the first output channel and second output channel comprises signals generated from a plurality of individual respective first and second piezoelectric elements that are distributed over the length of the stack of piezoelectric elements. This reduces the adverse influence of out-of-plane movement of the dual channel accelerometer on the channel-to-channel matching of the first and second output signals.
  • each of the first piezoelectric elements and the second piezoelectric elements are alternately interleaved with one another.
  • the first and second channels receive signal contributions from the entire length of the sensing element stack. This minimises the influence of bending of the sensing stack on the channel-to-channel matching of the first and second output signals. This in turn provides for closer matching between the first and second output signals thereby improving the redundancy of the dual channel accelerometer.
  • the interleaving of first and second piezoelectric elements may take other interleaving patterns.
  • the stack of piezoelectric elements may comprise, in sequence, two first piezoelectric elements, one second piezoelectric element, one first piezoelectric element and two second piezoelectric elements. This sequence may itself then be repeated.
  • This asymmetric arrangement may be utilised to provide an indication of ‘out of plane’ movements while still providing a balanced and matched measure of in-plane accelerations.
  • the quantity of first piezoelectric elements is equal to the quantity of second piezoelectric elements.
  • first and second piezoelectric elements simplifies the calibration of the dual channel accelerometer.
  • first piezoelectric elements are formed from a first piezoelectric material while the second piezoelectric elements are formed from a second piezoelectric material.
  • the interleaving arrangement will still help to reduce variations in mechanical input to the individual stacks.
  • the first piezoelectric material may be selected for improved high frequency response while the second piezoelectric material may be selected for improved low frequency response. This would allow the first piezoelectric elements to provide a primary measurement of acceleration at high frequencies with the second piezoelectric elements providing a corresponding secondary ‘cross-check’ measurement. Likewise the second piezoelectric elements would then be used for a primary measurement of acceleration at low frequencies with the first piezoelectric elements acting as a secondary ‘cross-check’ measure.
  • the material properties (electromechanical coupling coefficient, electrical impedance, acoustic impedance, etc.) of the first and second piezoelectric materials will be different to one another and thus the quantity of first piezoelectric elements may differ from the quantity of second piezoelectric elements.
  • the dual channel accelerometer further comprises a casing fixed to the supporting base.
  • the casing protects the first and second transducers from mechanical and environmental damage.
  • the seismic mass comprises the rigid mechanical coupling between the co-located first and second piezoelectric elements and the supporting base.
  • the rigid mechanical coupling is a threaded fastener, the threaded fastener passing through the co-located first and second piezoelectric elements, and being threadingly connected to the supporting base.
  • a method of manufacturing a dual channel accelerometer comprising the steps of:
  • the dual channel accelerometer further comprises first and second output channels, the method comprising the further steps of:
  • each of the first piezoelectric elements and the second piezoelectric elements are alternately interleaved with one another.
  • the rigid mechanical coupling is integrally formed with the seismic mass.
  • a gas turbine engine comprising a dual output accelerometer as claimed in either of first and second aspects of the invention, and an engine control system connectable to both output channels of the dual output accelerometer.
  • aspects of the invention provide devices, methods and systems which include and/or implement some or all of the actions described herein.
